Providing client-centered care is critical in meeting our client’s reproductive health needs.

We then transitioned to reviewing changes in Attachment C over the last couple of years designed to help you focus care more on individual clients’ needs, and we explored why client-centered care is so important. Finally, we reviewed some clinical scenarios to help you incorporate more client-centered care techniques into your Family Planning Clinic visits.

The Minor’s Consent & S.L. 2023-106: What Did & Did Not Change for LHDs Webinar was February 15, 2024, 12-1:30 pm. The webinar addressed North Carolina’s minor’s consent law, including when minors can consent to certain care on their own and how records related to those encounters must be handled under state law and HIPAA. The webinar also included an overview of the new parental consent requirements in S.L. 2023-106.

This new law did not change minor’s consent but is important for providers to be aware of because of its impact on how parental consent for a minor’s care must be obtained and documented.
